The first thing that came to mind reading this is that I wondered if he was playing footsies with Saddam. I mean what's to say that 2 little tinpot tyrants wouldn't use each other to furthur their own ends?

"North Korea is doing their level best to provoke an incident but we're not biting" It seems that way to me too, but you have to wonder why. What does NK stand to gain? Seems to me they have everything to lose.

They're paranoid and eager to pull our chain. With Bush in place they are no longer dealing with a paper tiger.

"I could not be any more safe."
Email me after a Clinton enabled North Korean nuclear missle strike near your home and let me know if you have the same sentiments.

Awful lot of folks here ready to lob nukes...
They do so pretty awful destruction. Then they really eff up the ground for, oh, centuries and people have babies with three heads, then lizards get exposed and grow large and attack Japan whose only hope for redemption is two midgets and a huge moth.
And that's going to drive up the price of the 40" Sony TV I want to buy so people I beg you...
Don't use nukes!

We don't have many good options right now regarding NK. Destroy the launch facilities, destroy air fields. And if the infantry moves an inch, tac nukes along the line.
That's the only way to keep Seoul intact, and prevent NK from using nukes.
To: Beck_isright
Politically, your point is well taken. My point was spiritual; regarding a person's soul. In God one is secure at all times, in all dangers, in all circumstances. For mortals facing death, this is the only real security one can possibly have.

In 91 in the desert we prayed. But we were hard core realists. If we bought the farm it was God's way of calling our number. I view the situation the same with North Korea. It's up to us, as a nation to show backbone and support and not prance around the streets in fairy costumes and with communist flags as San Francisco did, against those of us who served and those who still serve. That city is nothing more than Paris with a California zip code. And it's a shame that someone with such a deep spirtual belief would live in the den of sin that, that sorry excuse of a community is.

Considering the amount of science and technology dedicated to alternate fuels and energy management, there's surely an innovative way to target North Korea and then allow Japan to harness power from any externalaties of said devices. A few modifications here and there and who knows how this might turn out.

Did I advocate sitting on our ass and doing nothing? I said we don't have a lot of good options, and that a military reponse at this time, no matter how tempting, will cause other problems.
If Seoul, Japan, or the western US is attacked with NK nukes, the price is very expensive both in human and economic costs. That's not predicting Armageddon, that's reality.
Kim Jung Il and his cronies are crazy MFs and would likely launch a nuclear strike if threatened. So if we take-out their nukes, they move across the DMZ and we have a bloody and protacted conflict on our hands. Obviously better than the nukes, but South Korea is severely damaged and an already fragile Pacific Rim economy gets a lot worse.
As I said before, not a lot of good options.

The odds are it would NOT be nuclear but rather a ground attack from the NOrth. That will be problematic to say the least. I do not think the SK's will be able to hole them and expect that the NK's have tunnelled deep into the South.
I think this is also a concern of leaders. WE could not get enough troops there in time to prevent an over run of the country. It does not look good, the options are just not there. We think Saddam is a wild man, Kim is far beyond Saddam.

I went to your google link but couldn't find anything about N.Korea. Maybe it's been refreshed and the article dropped off.

There is the possibility that Kim is totally out of touch with reality, and believes his own rhetoric.
Or, they could be trying to get us to buy them off. 'Give us food and fuel, and we won't start a war.'
Perhaps it is even advertising: 'Attention terrorist shoppers. We have missles and nukes, and everything has a price. We need food and fuel. Who will start the bidding?'
Who can read their minds?
